A method includes determining an operating condition associated with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method includes causing the UAV to perform a pre-flight check in response to determining the operating condition. The pre-flight inspection includes hovering the UAV above a take-off site. The pre-flight check includes moving one or more controllable components of the UAV according to a predetermined movement sequence while hovering the UAV. The pre-flight check includes obtaining, by one or more sensors of the UAV, sensor data indicative of a flight response of the UAV to move the one or more controllable components while hovering the UAV. The pre-flight check includes comparing the sensor data to expected sensor data, the expected sensor data being associated with an expected flight response to the predetermined movement sequence while hovering the UAV. The pre-flight check includes evaluating performance of the UAV based on comparing the sensor data to the expected sensor data.

    一种方法包括:确定与无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)相关联的操作状况。所述方法包括:响应于确定所述操作状况,使所述UAV进行飞行前检查。所述飞行前检查包括:将所述UAV悬停于起飞部位上方。所述飞行前检查包括:当悬停所述UAV时,根据预定移动序列来移动所述UAV的一个或多个可控组件。所述飞行前检查包括:由所述UAV的一个或多个传感器获得传感器数据,所述传感器数据指示所述UAV的对在悬停所述UAV时移动所述一个或多个可控组件的飞行响应。所述飞行前检查包括:将所述传感器数据与预期传感器数据进行比较,所述预期传感器数据与在悬停所述UAV时对所述预定移动序列的预期飞行响应相关联。所述飞行前检查包括:基于将所述传感器数据与所述预期传感器数据进行比较,评估所述UAV的性能。
